    IS $150 for a new 39mm PWK carb good price?

    $150 new 39mm PWK a good deal- Yes or No?

    I'd pay 150 for that brand new, I put one on my tri z. I bought it in pcs, had to order the slide, choke, cap, needle, and a few other parts,,,, plus shipping. Long story short, it's worth a buck fifty all day long... LOL

    call a Polaris dealer, they use them for an 06 700sx snow machine or a 600, I forget.

    Oh yea to make the slide open all the way I had to use a banshee throttle cable and thumb throttle. I'm sure others will work but that's what I used for mine. Zmpolaristech turned me on to this, it works good on the tri z because those carbs work well with the fuel pumps on the sleds, and the z.


    I just picked up a 36mm pwk for my tecate, for 50 the other day. I'd rather have a new one, after cleaning out the stock t3 carb...it drips a lot thru the vent tube. I really don't like cleaning old carbs and working on them...

    Where do you get them new for 150?

    They average about $200, at the lowest I normally see them at, so I'd say so...

    I paid closer to $250 for mine. So yes, $150 is a very good price for a new one.

    Buy two of them I will take one. I have been needing to get a PWK for my Z as I hear the Airstryker tends to leak a little fuel with fuel pump set up. Seriously though if you can I will paypal you the money right now for one.

    Looking like it isnt exactly new but probably not used long so he considers it new. Well anyway I wish I had dealer pricing but this a single sale.

    Im pretty sure I put one of these PWKs on my 85 R before. Had to use a heat gun to get it to fit on the intake boot but man, the thing did launch like a jet..

    Yeah it didnt idle in LT500R and he told me the jets are 52 pilot needle in the middle and 190nmain jet.

    I think the pilot should be more like 60. and main could be like 168-180.

    He also found the infamous Suzuki base gasket air leak under the intake where the case halves meet.
